This review examines contemporary management's evolving landscape, emphasizing the integration of digital transformation, sustainability, and human factors. Drawing on a mixed-methods approach, including literature synthesis and case studies, the study highlights major trends such as Industry 4.0 adoption, AI-enabled organizational models, ESG implementation, and leadership's influence on employee wellbeing. Challenges such as resistance to change and policy barriers are discussed, emphasizing the need for strategic agility and adaptive leadership. The review underscores the importance of aligning technological, environmental, and human-centric initiatives to foster sustainable organizational development. Findings suggest that future research should explore innovative management paradigms that balance these critical elements, ensuring competitive advantage and resilience in a rapidly changing global environment.
